Manassas Man Dies in Fatal Crash

Fair
Oaks Police District – Fairfax County Police are investigating a fatal
crash that took place on the Fairfax County Parkway just north of
Braddock Road at 1:40 a.m. Sunday, September 29.

Preliminary
investigation indicates that a 44-year-old man was driving his 1993 Mazda
MX3 Coupe northbound in the southbound lanes of the road. Some vehicles
were able avoid impact by veering away from the oncoming car, but the
Mazda struck a 2002 Toyota Avalon head-on. The Mazda driver, Abraham
Aragon, of Soldiers Ridge Circle, Manassas was pronounced dead on the
scene of the crash.

The
driver (age 30) of the Avalon and his wife (age 29) are a couple from
Camp Hill, Pennsylvania. They were transported to Inova Fairfax Hospital
where they were treated for non-life-threatening injuries. The passenger,
however, was pregnant. The baby was delivered early and is now in serious
condition.

Detectives
are investigating whether alcohol may have been a factor in the crash.
All people involved in the crash were wearing seat belts.

The
crash is under investigation by Crash Reconstruction Unit detectives. If
